These HDR composites were a little tricky with no tripod, so instead I broke out the ingenuity that I had locked up deep inside and used the ground.

Whilst walking along the docks in Bristol, I came across this lovely little classic Fiat 500 in a gorgeous (or garish, depending on your taste!) yellow. I figured that the bright yellow and the contrasting bright blue sky owned itself to an HDR effect, so I took these 2 stunning shots. It also shows a huge difference in how you compose your shot, as both were only taken within a few feet of each other.

It seems HDR really pops when you use a wide-angle lens and I hope to be doing more like this in the future.
